Has anyone used this as a general use hose, like for spraying down the patio or washing cars? Love the coil, worried about flow

I wouldn't say it's good for that because of the pressure. Great for garden watering and the hose is light so easy to stretch out long distances. I don't think you can add another attachment to the hose to make the pressure better though...so I wouldn't suggest it for the patio washing.

I use mine for watering flowers and in the dairy barn for washing udders. I do not need alot of pressure for this. I think washing the car would be Okay, but I don't know about the house. If you hook to a pressure washer I would think that it would be good. I love these. I have several of them!

Mike, it works good for me. Make sure you get a good nozzle, spray handle. Also, depending on how far you need to go, get the right length.I got the 75 footer which goes as far as I need. They say they are 25 ft, 50 ft, etc. Go one level up for what you need.

I have used it to water grass and garden, mine was suppose to be 75 feet, hard to stretch pass 50 ft. It does not have a good flow. sorry I bought it.!!

the float is rather slow and rather disappointing. If you want to get something done quickly this is not the hose to use. I bought two and have already replaced both of them.

I use it on a 2700 psi honda pressure washer. It is a decent hose but it really wants to coil up on itself. Good hose considering the price

We use a regular 1/2" hose and have good pressure. I use the "shower" setting for watering plants and have no problems with pressure. I haven't used the "jet or center" settings for a stronger spray. I have used soaker hoses before and don't think there would be a issue. Try it and see.

I removed mine and gave it a blasting shower with the hose. It was a hot day, and it dried fast. Also, I made sure to -not- give those parts that seemed particularly electronic anything like a leisurely water bath. :) It continues to function flawlessly without a whimper over the incident. I'm just reporting what I did. Not meant for advice at all. And when I approach fans with the hose, I am always in acceptance that that I could bring an end to their healthy life. Yet I've done it for years, and have thus far got away with it. (Note- always on hot days, where they dry immediately.)

Honestly, I hold it the other way around if I am cleaning the derriere. It works well for me. Sometimes I don't aim it properly and get a bit of water all over the backside but no biggie. Just dry it off and go. It works well but get into the habit of turning off the water valve when not in use. If there is constant water pressure on the hose... It will bust after a few months. Happened to me but they sent me a new right away.

I've just been out and tried the 7/8" nozzle. It worked fine on all my cars and trucks, but on my '87 Sunrader RV, the brass nozzle got stuck on withdrawal. I had to jiggle it a bit to get it out.

The black does not come off in your hands. Also, I use this on my horse farm all winter as well and coils up very easy even up here in the northeast at 0 degrees. I drain it after each use of course when it is that cold but it still stays flexible. Best hose I have ever had actually.

I have used the sprayer at the car wash but have not tried the drive through wash. I thought I read somewhere where you weren't supposed to take it through a car wash. For me, I won't take the chance unless the manufacturer states that it could.

Yes, I have had problems with kinks and when they happen they often allow the hose to "blow out" a hole allowing so much water to flow that it renders the hose useless. I have purchased 4 of these weeper hoses and have had to quit using all of them because they no longer flow in a slow steady "soaker" action. I went back to the Andrews Brand green flat plastic soaker hose and have had good success with them.

I have the 50' GY, and it is a quality hose. I have also started using in the shop, the Kolbalt curled type hose, it is very flexible, even in cold weather, and has a Lifetime Warranty - under $15.00

the hose has a smooth plastic like skin, but coils much easier than the hard plastic hoses. I coil it like a garden hose an have no trouble. Steve

I cannot recommend this hose. I got one last summer and loved it....... because it never crimped off. Crimped hoses are a pet peeve of mine. But now I've found it has sprung a leak just under the edge of one of the end connectors. This hose has not been abused in any way! Now I'm on a hunt, as I see several others are, to figure out how to repair it. Most hoses you can simply cut the end off and put a replacement end on. But this hose has this wire in its walls. If anyone knows how to repair it, please post.

Its like any other hose, my only problem was it leaked terribly at the nozzel, no matter what we did you got soaked when you turned it on and water was wasted.....

I think the key to flex hose is NEVER leave the water running and the nozzle off.. The hose isn't made to hold the force of water and you close your nozzle at the end and then your water pressure splits the hose. Mine has lasted more than one season, but I read and followed the directions

Yes. My only concern, would be the supplied coil hose. If over stretched regularly, you'll need to upgrade to a sturdier /longer hose.

Hello there I used my Badger hose on it and it works great. That is a nice brush for that low a price Robert, hope this helps you out. Calvin.

I would stay away from this item. I used it outside for washing my car and the nozzle end blew off from the rest of the hose. In your house, I would not want what happened to me outside to happen to you inside
